This Norwegian cheese is made under the Ski Queen brand from a mixture of cow and goat's milk. It has a unique, sweet flavor due to the way in which it is processed. The milk is cooked until the sugars in it have caramelized, giving the cheese its distinctive brown color and sweet flavor. The milk is then curded and pressed. This distinctive Norwegian "brown cheese" (brunost) became popular as a skiers' snack and thus the label "Ski Queen". It is widely popular among Scandinavian-Americans, and children especially are drawn to its sweet flavor.

it tasted wonderful. arrived on time. love being able to get the 5.5 pound piece.

Unique and wonderful cheese!

I encountered the gjetost whilst in Norway a few decades ago, and fell it love. It is delicious, especially thinly sliced, on buttered toast. Nice to find it on igourmet, who did a great job getting it to me swiftly and chilled. Thanks so much!

Good purchase

Since there is no other brand available, I can't judge value, but the taste is fine and the price was fair compared to local options.
